[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could have written this post myself. I have an amazing daughter in a top DC private. She is a senior with a 3.9 GPA and has only ever received two Bs (a B and a B+), both in advanced math. She excels (truly) in English/history/foreign languages. However, she thinks she's a failure and won't get into college. In fact, she has straight come out and said that only people who are good in math are smart because "everyone" is good at what she's good at. Yikes!

I, too, have run out of things to say to counter the pervasive negativity she feels and it is just heartbreaking to watch. I don't know if I have any advice but I just wanted to say that I know what you're going through and I wish you and your daughter the very best.

OP here - I am sad reading your post. I wish our daughters could have each other to lean on. There must be so many others who are suffering like this but presenting with a strong exterior. It saddens me to think they are hurting so much on the inside. I hope that things work out for all of these girls.[/quote]
